Easy Weenies drive-through opens in Wilson Borough

Chris Morales might be busy in his run for Bethlehem City council, but it’s not keeping him from taking care of business. The owner of Easy Weenies hot dog stands in Bethlehem and Easton has opened a new location at 2477 Birch St. in Wilson Borough — the former location of the drive-through Mocha Mikes across from the Wawa and Home Depot on 25th Street.

This, too, is a drive-through. “We did a lot of work here before we could open and it looks great,” said Morales, who opened his first stand three years ago and already is eyeing sites for a couple more locations.

His menu is always changing, he said. But favorite items remain constant: Sabrett all-beef hotdogs, sausages, footlong hotdogs, cheeseburgers, 1/2 burgers and cheesesteaks, chicken cheesesteaks, filet and chicken kabobs, quesadillas and A-Treat soft drinks. (A-Treat because he likes to support local vendors.) You can follow the menu updates on his Facebook page: Easy Weenies.

So how does he continue to grow his business while running for office?

“I have good people. I believe in teams and working together,” he says.

Hours at the Easy Weenies in Wilson are 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday. Within the next 3 to 4 weeks, Morales plans to open at 7 a.m. each day to serve breakfast sandwiches. You can call or text ahead your orders at the Wilson location so they’re ready for pick-up. The number is 610-554-1036.
